My First Experience to Ride Motorcycle One day, when I was ten years old, my father bought an old motorcycle. That was " Honda 75". I think it was small light object and eas…y to ride it. I persuaded my father to teach me to ride " Honda 75 ". Firstly, my father refused my request and promised that he would teach me two or three years later, but I still whimpered. Finally, my father surrendered and promised to teach me. He began to teach me riding the motorcycle around a field in my village. My father was very patient to give me some directions. I was very happy when I realized my ability to ride a motorcycle. " Yes, I can ". One day later, when I was alone at home, I intended to try my riding ability. So, myself tried bravely.

He just gave me some advices and since that accident, I got my father's permission to ride motorcycle.(MORE)

Sangkuriang Long time ago in West Java, lived a beautiful girl named Dayang Sumbi. She was also smart and clever. Her beauty and intelligence made a prince from the heavenly… kingdom of Kahyangan desire her as his wife. The prince asked permission from his father to marry Dayang Sumbi. People from Kahyangan could never live side by side with humans, but his father approved on one condition, when they had a child, the prince would transform into a dog. The prince accepted the condition. They get married and lived happily in the woods until Dayang Sumbi gave birth to a baby boy. The prince then changed into a dog named Tumang. Their son is named Sangkuriang. He was very smart and handsome like his father. Everyday, he hunted animals and looked for fruits to eat. One day, when he was hunting, Sangkuriang accidentally killed Tumang. His arrow missed the deer he was targeting and hit Tumang instead. He went home and tells her mother about the dog. "What?" Dayang Sumbi was appalled. Driven by sadness and anger, she grabbed a weaving tool and hit Sangkuriang's head with it. Dayang Sumbi was so sad; she didn't pay any attention to Sangkuriang and started to cry. Sangkuriang feel sad and also confused. How can his mother love a dog more than him? Sangkuriang then decided to go away from their home and went on a journey. In the morning, Dayang Sumbi finally stopped crying. She started to feel better, so she went to find Sangkuriang. But her son was no where to be found. She looked everywhere but still couldn't find him. Finally, she went home with nothing. She was exhausted. She fell asleep, and in her dream, she meets her husband. "Dayang Sumbi, don't be sad. Go look for my body in the woods and get the heart. Soak it with water, and use the water to bathe, and you will look young forever," said the prince in her dream. After bathing with the water used to soak the dog's heart, Dayang Sumbi looked more beautiful and even younger. And time passed by. Sangkuriang on his journey stopped at a village and met and fell in love with a beautiful girl.He didn't realize that the village was his homeland and the beautiful girl was his own mother, Dayang Sumbi. Their love grew naturally and he asked the girl to marry him. One day, Sangkuriang was going on a hunt. He asked Dayang Sumbi to fix the turban on his head. Dayang Sumbi was startled when she saw a scar on his head at the same place where she, years ago, hit Sangkuriang on the head. After the young man left, Dayang Sumbi prayed for guidance. After praying, she became convinced that the young man was indeed her missing son. She realized that she had to do something to prevent Sangkuriang from marrying her. But she did not wish to disappoint him by cancelling the wedding. So, although she agreed to marry Sangkuriang, she would do so only on the condition that he provides her with a lake and built a beautiful boat, all in one night. Sangkuriang accepted this condition without a doubt. He had spent his youth studying magical arts. After the sun went down, Sangkuriang went to the hill. Then he called a group of genie to build a dam around Citarum River. Then, he commands the genies to cut down trees and build a boat. A few moments before dawn, Sangkuriang and his genie servants almost finished the boat. Dayang Sumbi, who had been spying on him, realised that Sangkuriang would fulfill the condition she had set. Dayang Sumbi immediately woke all the women in the village and asked them to wave a long red scarf. All the women in the village were waving red scarf, making it look as if dawn was breaking. Deceived by false dawn, the cock crowed and farmers rose for the new day. Sangkuriang's genie servants immediately dropped their work and ran for cover from the sun, which they feared. Sangkuriang grew furious. With all his anger, he kicked the unfinished boat. The boat flew and landed on a valley. The boat then became a mountain, called Mount Tangkuban Perahu (Tangkuban means upturned or upside down, and Perahu means boat). With his power, he destroyed the dam. The water drained from the lake becoming a wide plain and nowadays became a city called Bandung (from the word Bendung, which means Dam). (MORE)

Text speak encompasses a collection of abbreviations often used in text messages sent through cell phones. Text speak is also used within conversations which take place over t…he Internet, such as those on Skype and Facebook chat. The shortened versions of words and number codes included within text speak saves the sender of messages the time and energy it takes to type out a word or expression in full. However, sometimes text speak is difficult to understand, especially if receivers of messages are not well-versed in the language.Text speak includes old standards which have been around for years, such as the classic "TTYL" (Talk to you later) and "BRB" (Be right back), plus newer acronyms representing expressions, such as "DEGT" (Don't even go there) and "2BZ4UQT" (Too busy for you, cutie). In recent years, texters have started using numbers to represent certain words and expressions. These include 143, which means "I love you," and 182, which means "I hate you." To see a full list of expressions and codes used within text speak there are online resources such as Net Lingo's website.Text messaging has been around for 20 years or so, and people have been using text speak since texts were invented. However, there were less expressions and codes in the beginning; more have developed over the years. Before text messaging was invented, people used a less extensive version of what is now known as text speak on instant messaging services, such as the America Online Instant Messenger (AIM), and the Microsoft Network (MSN) Messenger. People still use text speak when chatting on instant messaging services, and on social networking sites such as Twitter.Generally, text speak is not acceptable in formal business communications. If you are sending formal business letters through postal mail, or communicating with customers, clients, or associates through email, most receivers of your messages will still see it as very unprofessional if the communications are filled with text speak. It is also best to keep it out of official websites for companies, even if the company provides instant messaging services or produces cell phones. However, if you are texting with another coworker and you need to communicate something very quickly (like your location), a couple of lines containing text speak is acceptable. It is also acceptable to use a bit of text speak if you are marketing something to teenagers, as many of them understand and appreciate it, but do not go overboard.You must never use text speak in academic writing. Since many people in universities and colleges are using text speak so often for informal communication, it will occasionally slip into a paper; this will definitely not be appreciated by professors. If you're a frequent text speak user, and you write academic papers, make sure you check your paper over before submitting it, to ensure that you have included the full form of each word or phrase you have used. Aside from academic writing, it is best to avoid using text speak with older adults, as they did not have cell phones while they were growing up, and many of them do not understand text speak or see the point of using it. It is best not to use it with an authority figure, either, as you will want to appear professional to them.Text speak is fun to use and enables a speedy exchange of information. However, sometimes it's more trouble than it's worth, if the receiver of your messages does not understand text speak or is annoyed by it. Furthermore, there is the risk that people who use text speak for most of their communication will actually forget how to spell regular words properly. In order to avoid problems arising from the use of text speak, you must use it moderately, and consider your audience. A few words of text speak within a message to a friend is acceptable, but do not send a message filled with text speak to your 50-year-old boss.Text messages are now admissible as evidence, if it is proven that the accused was in control of a certain cell phone and actually did send particular text messages. Therefore, be careful when you use certain expressions included in text speak, such as 187, which represents murder or homicide. You don't want an inappropriate joke to make you a prime suspect of a crime.(MORE)

Getting a good deal and cutting expenses is one of the first steps to bringing a budget under control. Cellphone providers offer a variety of packages. Investing in a cheap te…xt messaging package can lead to further savings as well. This article will provide a general summary of getting the cheapest text plans for a cellphone.All of the major cellphone providers offer inexpensive text plans. Text messaging has increased in popularity significantly over the years with messages sent totaling billions every year. However, just because the initial price on the text messaging plan looks as if it is the cheapest does not mean it is. Consumers should make sure that they read all of the fine print and make sure that there are no hidden fees.Yes, according to both Wirefly and Tech Crunch websites, major cellphone providers often keep certain deals back behind the curtains to help keep customers who might be thinking about leaving, or who are on the fence between signing a contract. To find out about these deals, consumers need to call the phone companies and ask about them. They should not be surprised if the first response is no, and they may have to explain that they are comparing different phone plans and may be heading toward a different one. In most cases, the representative will either transfer the consumer to someone with more authority or will explain how they can beat the other deal.The cheap text messaging plan may not be the unlimited text messaging plan. When consumers are making their selection, then they need to take into consideration how many text messages they will send on a monthly basis. If they go over this limit, then they will have to pay premium fees for these additional text messages, which can quickly eat into any savings. A slightly more expensive text messaging plan that will not cause consumers to go over their allotted texts may end up being a better deal in the long run.No, all text messaging plans use the same basic technology. Some packages may not include video or picture texts, but the basic text messaging service is the same. The messages will go through with the same reliability and accuracy in a cheap package as an expensive package. The difference in price refers primarily to the number of text messages that users can send in a given month.Text messaging makes communication quick and easy. While all of the major cellphone providers have cheap text plans, not all are created equal. It is essential to read the fine print. Not all of the best deals will be on the official sites though, and when picking a cheap text messaging plan, consumers need to make sure that the allotted text messages will actually meet their needs. Fortunately though, a cheap text messaging package is not any less reliable than more expensive ones.A slightly more expensive text messaging plan that will not cause consumers to go over their allotted texts may end up being a better deal in the long run.(MORE)
